Selected work

Objects, publications, people.

Three bodies of work, connected by the same attention to material, light, and presence.

The work

Photography that understands the object.

Every material asks for something different: the controlled reflection of metal, the depth of varnish, the surface of stone, the quiet detail of paper.

My background in art history and the antiques world informs how I light, frame, and document each piece—accurately, without making it feel clinical.

A trained eye

“The aim is fidelity, but never flatness: an image should preserve the object’s character as carefully as its detail.”

Trained at the École du Louvre and first working at the Château de Versailles, Caroline later managed an antiques store in the United States before establishing her photography practice.

People

Portraits remain part of the story.

The institutional focus does not erase portraiture. Artists, professionals, individuals, and families belong here—presented as one thoughtful body of work, rather than a competing identity.
